Thanks in part to City of Elmhurst Explore Elmhurst Grant Program funding support, Elmhurst American Legion THB Post 187 will partner with the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ECCI) to co-host a trio of country music-themed events—highlighted by the Second Annual Nashville Songwriter Fundraiser on October 16—all staged inside the Legion’s Normandy Banquet Room.
The Nashville Songwriter event will feature the return of country singer/songwriter Jason Sever, a native Texan who has worked the past 20 years in Music City U.S.A, as a headlining solo artist, studio musician and ensemble performer, along with two fellow performers.
Tickets are $85 and include alcoholic beverages, pop and snacks. Tickets will be sold online via our Chamber’s website at elmhurstchamber.org, starting as early as August.
For the Nashville event, $3K Sponsors will receive a full-page display ad in the concert program, website and social media exposure, and a reserved table of 10, while $1K Sponsors will receive a half-page ad, website and social media exposure and a reserved half-table for five. Blue, Red and White Supporters levels are available for $500, $250 and $100, respectively.
In addition, Freebyrd (freebyrdrocks.com), a local tribute band with Elmhurst ties, and Whiskey Creek (whiskeycreekjams.com) will perform 7 p.m. concerts on Saturday, Aug. 14 and Saturday, Aug. 28, respectively. The presenting sponsor of Freebyrd is ECCI member Community Bank of Elmhurst, whose headquarters is located immediately west of Post 187.
While staged in the Normandy Room, the venue will allow concertgoers access to the adjacent indoor bar and an outdoor gathering area.
At both summer concerts, a tax-deductible $10 cover charged at the door will benefit the ECCI Centennial Celebration NFP’s Civic Hall of Fame Public Memorial Fund, while the Legion will profit from all food and beverage sales.
